Meat Free Butter Chicken

This Meat-free Butter Chicken recipe was a finalist in the Fry's Curry Cook-Off competition. It's an Indian style curry that uses mock chicken. Murgh makhani, as it is know in India, is a traditional dish from Punjab. Butter chicken is usually served with naan bread, roti, paratha and/or steamed rice.

Cooking Instructions

Place Fry's Chicken-Style Strips in a bowl. Add the ginger paste, fennel and cloves powder, food colouring and pepper. Rub spices lightly into the Fry's strips then fry in butter & oil.

Remove the Fry's strips and add an extra 30g butter to the pan. Stir in the fennel seeds and onions until soft. Add garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir through tomato puree and bring to the boil. Add Fry's strips and salt to taste. Stir in evaporated milk. Sprinkle elachi and pepper over the strips.

Heat through before serving. Serve with hot soft parathas, naan or basmati rice.
